gbak is just another program (almost!).

I sure hope so!!!

No, lots and lots of room

Sorry... when gbak froze, I think part of my mind did too! :-)

FB 1.5 - super server
Red Hat Rel 9

Just as an aside... I had some funny queries yesterday that just

did not report or find anything???

Thanks for the help!!,
